Ann Arbor begins to have an autumn flavor in September, and the maple leaves along the road slowly turn golden. It adds a touch of literary and artistic flavor to this quaint town.

Yi Fan shuttled through the busy streets with ease, and rushed to the University of Michigan to report as quickly as possible. With the experience of the previous time, this time he quickly adjusted to jet lag and physical condition after arriving in Detroit.

At the moment, there is no time to breathe, he must improve his strength in the shortest possible time, for himself, but also for the sake of supporting his partners along the way.

Even so, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening when he arrived at the school, and after the enrollment report, Yifan saw his guide Diana again. I saw that she changed into a dark blue shirt and trousers, and her big golden curls were tied up.

"Yo, you're finally here, and I thought you couldn't find your way. I haven't seen you for half a year, and you look pretty good. Diana laughed. After that training match, she knew the Chinese boy would definitely come here again.

Yi Fan was also not modest, showing his biceps and saying: "I have practiced very hard in the past six months, and now my strength is as good as my English." ”

Diana shook her head, she couldn't figure out if this guy was boasting or blackmailing. "From now on, we have a teacher-student relationship," she said. If you have any questions, just ask me and I'll help you as much as I can. I have a couple of suggestions, here, everything speaks with strength, without strength, no one will pay attention to what you say, and no one even knows who you are. Another thing is that our coach, Mr. Johnson, is very polite and disciplined, and your previous behaviour has caught his attention and he wants to focus on his words and actions in the future. Finally, I would like to welcome you to the University of Michigan and hope that you can enjoy your university life to the fullest. ”

Yifan walks on the crowded school road, and nearly 10,000 students are enrolled here every year.

The school is large and divided into several areas, with the rugby pitch and training ground in the south-east, about ten minutes away from his residence hall.

He was recruited to the school as a rugby sports student, so the dormitory was arranged in a special dormitory - "FOOTBALL HOME".

The University of Michigan is one of the biggest football universities in the United States, so this residence hall has a long history and many of the NFL's biggest stars have lived here.

The six-story dormitory building is divided into several small rooms, and there is a small courtyard in front of the building. Training equipment such as dumbbells and Scran trainers are randomly placed on the walkway in the courtyard, which are old but spotless, and can be seen to be often maintained and used.

Yi Fan's dormitory is on the fourth floor, 402, where he will spend the next four years. Before entering the dormitory, he could clearly hear his own pounding heartbeat. He was curious about what kind of people would live with him, but one thing was 100% certain, no matter who could live here, no one would be weak!

"Hello everyone!" With apprehension, Yifan slowly opened the door of the dormitory.

There was a bright light through the crack in the door, and two black men, one large and one small, came into view. They bared their ivory-white teeth and stared at Yi Fan with a smile.

Hey? Why are you smiling so ...... Treacherous?

Before Yi Fan could think about it, he was hit the head.

"Hahaha! I won! I'll just say this kid is going to be smashed! For so many years, only Brady's geniuses have been able to dodge! ”

Seeing that Yi Fan was smashed to the ground, the little black man sneered and said. He immediately stepped forward, gave Yi Fan a warm hug, and picked up the rugby ball on the ground, the culprit who smashed Yi Fan.

"Don't scare me, boy, it's a tradition in the house of football. Every new student is baptized with the ball of God when they first step through the dormitory door. When we first entered the door, we were also smashed and shocked. The other party explained.

Yi Fan found out that this little black man was not small at all, he was about 1.8 meters tall, and his body was much thinner than the strong man next to him, but if you looked closely, you would find that his muscles were also extremely capable, just like a cheetah.

"My name is Dean, a third-grader, and his name is Michael, fourth-year, and you're welcome here." The little black man introduced.

Michael nodded kindly. Yi Fan could see at a glance that he was the tester who easily pushed down the trainer on the day of the evaluation.

He was large, nearly two meters tall and as burly as an orangutan, but much less than Dean could say.

There were three people in the dormitory, and after Yifan sorted out his luggage, he took out the specialties of his hometown, some cakes and meat products, and the three of them chatted while eating.

Dean is the player's main corner-back, while Michael is a defensive line-back. Both are Americans and have been exposed to rugby since childhood. Therefore, when they saw Yi Fan's yellow skin, they were particularly surprised, and in their impression, there should not be many people in China who play American football, let alone be able to play the table.

After chatting for a while, Dean advised: "Start training tomorrow morning, don't be late then, otherwise the coach will be very angry." ”

"Of course!" Yi Fan replied confidently. I have always been punctual, and I will definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

However, after lying down, Yi Fan didn't feel sleepy at all, and the nervousness of entering the campus made him want to rest well, the more he couldn't fall asleep over and over. In a daze, my mind was filled with all kinds of voices, reminders from Diana and her roommates, instructions from her parents before leaving, and blessings from former teammates...... When he finally woke up with a tired face, he found that there were less than twenty minutes left before the start of training.

"How so!" Yifan didn't have time to wash, so he casually put on his clothes and ran out. There was no one all the way from the dormitory to the training ground, and the unusual silence made Yifan know that he couldn't be late or not be late, but he was still going to make a fool of himself.

At this time, more than 100 players on the training ground had already begun to line up. As a first-year student, both the head coach and other teachers paid great attention to the day and came to the field early to wait.

Dean saw that the time was approaching and Yi Fan's figure had not yet appeared, so he couldn't help but mutter, "What's the matter?" Why hasn't that Chinese kid come yet? You can't get lost! “

It wasn't until the last minute before the start of training that Yi Fan rushed to the training ground out of breath. Although theoretically he wasn't late, he was particularly abrupt when all the players were lined up.

The coach glanced at him, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he frowned slightly, and immediately had a problem with this loose freshman in his heart.

Yi Fan wanted to apologize to the head coach quickly, but when he saw Dean giving him a frantic look, he quickly stood in the queue.

As soon as he stepped into the queue, the head coach said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm head coach Johnson. We stand here to enjoy the fun of rugby, but also to win! Want me to remember your names! Just show your strength! ”
